Testimonial

Graeme cleaned our cream bedroom carpet after we'd had an ensuite bathroom build and the builders and plumbers had made a right mess of it. It came up like new! Really impressed and pleased.
He also cleaned a couple of armchairs in our holiday let with similar results.
We will employ his services again!
